The need to diminish violence in football, as well as in society more generally, has become widely acknowledged. This, along with advances in understanding human behaviour and in transmitting emotional skills to educators, children and teenagers, has created an excellent opportunity for football to contribute to behavioural social change.
Since 2007, E4P with the support of UEFA have been promoting emotional competence and behavioural awareness in the football world, with the launch of many initiatives. Emotional skills will be playing an increasingly important role in football.

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination."
Nelson Mandela
